25 Ora, havia em Jerusalém um homem cujo nome era Simeão; e este homem, justo e temente a Deus, esperava a consolação de Israel; e o Espírito Santo estava sobre ele.

26 E lhe fora revelado pelo Espírito Santo que ele não morreria antes de ver o Cristo do Senhor.

27 Assim pelo Espírito foi ao templo; e quando os pais trouxeram o menino Jesus, para fazerem por ele segundo o costume da lei,

28 Simeão o tomou em seus braços, e louvou a Deus, e disse:

29 Agora, Senhor, despedes em paz o teu servo, segundo a tua palavra;

30 pois os meus olhos já viram a tua salvação,

31 a qual tu preparaste ante a face de todos os povos;

32 luz para revelação aos gentios, e para glória do teu povo Israel.

25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was just and pious, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and {the} Holy Spirit was upon him.

26 And it was divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death before he should see {the} Lord's Christ.

27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and as the parents brought in the child Jesus that they might do for him according to the custom of the law,

28 *he* received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

29 Lord, now thou lettest thy bondman go, according to thy word, in peace;

30 for mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

31 which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

32 a light for revelation of {the} Gentiles and {the} glory of thy people Israel.
